The Offence of Transexual and Transgender: Analysis from Malaysian Islamic Criminal Law Perspectives

Abstract

Imej dan aktiviti lelaki berpakaian wanita secara terang-terangan melanggar norma dan prinsip jenayah syariah. Senario tersebut telah menjadi semakin subur dan berleluasa di seluruh pelusuk negara sehingga mencetuskan kerisauan dalam kalangan masyarakat Islam di Malaysia. Golongan ini semakin berani menampilkan imej lelaki berpakaian wanita di tempat awam. Malah para aktivis hak asasi barat yang memperjuangkan norma hak asasi barat amat lantang memperjuangkan hak asasi bagi golongan mak nyah dan drag queen ini. Justeru penulisan ini berhasrat untuk menkaji kesalahan “lelaki berpakaian wanita” menurut prinsip dan peruntukan jenayah syariah. Ia seterusnya mengenal pasti permasalahan undang-undang yang timbul dalam pembanterasan kesalahan serta kemudiannya mencadangkan penyelesaian yang bersesuaian. Dalam pengenalpastian permasalahan dan dapatan, penulis mengguna pakai kaedah metodologi perundangan tulin yang mana  kandungan prinsip dan peruntukan dianalisis secara kualitatif dan kritis. Cadangan yang bersesuaian kemudiannya diutarakan secara kualitatif. Adalah diharapkan agar dapatan serta cadangan yang diutarakan akan menjadi pencetus kesedaran terhadap ancaman sebenar mak nyah dan drag queen ke atas nilai moral masyarakat Islam di Malaysia.

The acts of male crossdressing and resembling female are synonymous with the lives of the transexual and transgender communities. Both are clearly in contradiction with Islamic norms and syariah criminal principles.  Such scenario has become widespread and rampant throughout the country, causing distress among muslims in Malaysia. The said group is becoming more daring in projecting their inverted image in public. The fundamental rights activists, propagating western human rights values, are very vocal and daring in demanding for the rights of these transvestites and drag queens.  This writing examines the offence of male crossdressing and resembling female according to syariah criminal principles and provisions. It then identifies legal problems in its eradication and suggests appropriate solutions. In its identification of problems and findings, the authors adopt the pure legal method with content of principles and provisions being qualitatively and critically analyzed. Appropriate suggestions are then proposed qualitatively. It is hoped that the findings and suggestions mooted out will become the catalyst to the realization of the genuine threat that transvestites and drag queens pose to the moral values of Malaysian Muslim communities.
